§ 21414 Local Disability Retirement Benefits

• •If a worker gets hurt on the job and can't work anymore, they get money to help them.
• •The money they get is half of what they used to earn at their job.
• •If they have extra money saved up from their job, they get a little more money from that too.
• •If they could get more money by retiring normally, they get that instead.

A factory worker hurts their back lifting heavy boxes and can't work anymore.

The worker will get half of their usual paycheck every month. If they had extra money saved in a work plan, they get a little more from that. If retiring normally would give them more money, they get that instead.
